FARM MANAGEMENT.
Putting Buildings in Condition
to Save Fuel and Feed
During the Winter.
The Causes Of Failure Need Investigating
as Much as the Causes of Success.
Preparing for Winter.

Among the principal drawbacks to
success and happiness on northern
farms are the long and severely cold
winters During at least third of the
year, in this locality, most farmers
can not employ their time in such a
manner that they can receive any i'm
mediate remuneration for their labor.
A few living in the vicinity of forests
can find employment for themselves
and their teams in drawing lumber. A
still smaller number can earn money
in cutting and hauling ice. But, as a
general rule, farmers have no employ
ment during the winter excepting
taking care of their live stock. This
use of time is, of course, necessary,
though it brings nothing but a promise
of reward However well cared for,
no kind of farm animals gain much
during the winter. Generally they
will weigh no more in the spring than
they did at the time they were taken
into winter quarters. They eat large
amount of grain, hay, and other kinds
of fodder. but their consumption only
serves to supply the waste in the
system to produce the necessary degree
of bodily heat. A part of the farmer S
time may be spent in procuring and
preparing fuel for the house, but there
is no return for this labor except the
comfort insured by warmth.
A farmer can not produce much dur
ing the winter, but he can save large
amount If he takes the right course.
Whatever will save food in the stable
or feeding-yard, or lessen the amount
of fuel consumed in the house will be
in the nature of gain. If the stable,
or that part of it where animals are
kept, is so prepared that the snow and
wind cannot pass into il, and the feed
ing-yard is sheltered, animals will eat
much less food than they will if they
are exposed to storms and the cold.
Much of the food consumed by all
kinds of animals during cold weather
is used in producing vital heat, and the
colder the air is to which they are ex-
posed the more food they require for
this purpose. Animals that do mot
work, and take little exercise during
the winter, and those that give no milk
will require n comparatively small
amount of food if they are kept in
warm quarters. They will, of course,
need the amount of food that is re-
qured to make blood to supply the
waste that is constantly going on in the
system, but they will require but little
to produce bodily heat. Animals can

STILL TALKING OF THE FERRY.

The West seventh Street Union as
Determined as Ever to Have u
Ferry above BanhOiZer's Brewery.
The matter of ferry across the Missis-
sibpi, at the site OF the old Williams ferry,
again came up for discussion at the meet
ing of the West Seventh Street union last
night. When the legislature refused to ap-
propriate funds for the ferry, the Union de-
termined to raise the money by subscrip-
tons and have the ferry just the same.
From the committees appointed to secure
subscriptions, Mr. Nagle reported that he
had secured S770 in subscriptions ami Mr..
Ayd had signatures good for S433. making
a total of 1908, which would be nearly
enough. Mr.. Bryant, of Mendoza, who
of great benefit to the people of
Mendoza, but that he thought a
better plan would be to put in
pontoon bridge at the foot of McClain hill.
Mr.. Forbes. the engineer having the matter
in charge, reported that but a slight grade
would be necessary to make the old govern
ment road leading to the proposed site of
the ferry passable. Vice President Phillips
had his ire aroused by a remark made by
member of the union. to the effect that out
siderS whom he had approached on the
subject had said that ferries were too prim
tive for city like st. Paul and that the
union should wait until they got q bridge.
Mr.. Phillips said that these same people
had kept the people of West Seventh street
from getting bridge when they found they
needed it. Their representative had ig-
nored them and had the bridge placed down
where it would benefit his own property,
and then had the street leading to it
changed and named after him. And now,"
he continued, I'VE have Smith street."
The only barrier in the way, as far
as having the ferry was concerned,
was the securing of means to run ferry
after it was put in. 1t was finally decided
to present petition to the city council,
asking that the city bear this expense. Mr..
Bryant, of Mendoza, said he would also cir
culate petition on the other side of the
river.
The question of the location of the pro-
posed general market was brought before
the meeting, and it was declared the sense
of the meeting that the market should be
located Oh the Bishop Grace block, at the
corner OF West Seventh and jefferson
streets.
Hereafter the meetings of the union will
be held on the second and fourth Tuesdays
of each month.

In view of the general interest that has de-

results of this test from an authority are Of
interest to the public not less than to those
Immediately connected with the man.
agement of railroads. The following ex-
tracts are from the report of Engineer
Gibbs. The system spoken of is the Martin
system, invented by New York man:
We have been disappointed in not getting
sufficiently severe weather for crucial test.
AS regards actual results with a temperature
above zero, when carefully watched. the
traps and valves can be kept reasonably
clear of ice, but Il neglect to open drainage
cocks has already resulted in trouble in quite
q moderate temperature. The couplings
have also given some trouble by leaking on
the air brake couplings. My own opinion is
that we shall have to devise some means of
better protection for traps and couplings. In
regard to heating effects, these have been
very satisfactory so far as we have gone, that
is, not below zero temperature. IL regard to
amount of steam used; this is a very import
ant point when engines are already taxed in
most cases to their full capacity, we have
made arrangements on this train consisting
of five cars), to catch the condensed water
which gives, in measure, the amount of
steam used, and we find the quantity is quite
Iarge-much larger than is claimed by in
ventOrs in this line. On a quiet day
with temperature 15o above we condensed
100 pounds OF steam per car per hour. This
would probably amount to between and 10
per cent. Of the steam capacity of an ordi-
nary engine drawing a train of ten cars
but the retention of some form of
individual stove or heating apparatus APP
pears to me to be unavoidable as an auXili-
airy
In conclusion, I can only say that the sys-
tt is by no means a demonstrated success.
A decisive trial must be made under the
usual running conditions, and these are only
to be met with when we have spell o t our
ordinary severe winter weather.
